JP Morgan boss Jamie Dimon sounds warning on US stock market fall Dimon said he was

And Mr Dimon says that the US has become a less reliable partner. I can't imagine why he might say something like that.

IS it not the case that the paper, on which Musk's wealth rests, is over-valued? Just a tad?

🇺🇸 DRAMATIC scenes in Chicago

Masked thugs—carrying out orders of a long-time New York white collar crime-family boss—attempt to seize a resident. Persistent people power prevailed!
🇬🇧 If the UK's mini-Trump gained power, would similar scenes be witnessed in UK cities?

The Wall Street Journal WRECKED him!

Er, gilding the lily perhaps?!

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

DO diversion tactics as intense and hysterical as this, not suggest that the Epstein-file demands are tightening?

TRUMP bestrides a corrupt swamp? Sounds reasonable.

An incredibly important election in a tiny country just went the right way. Moldova has resisted a huge Russian disinformation campaign and will not become a Russian puppet state.

I'm not trying to exculpate Trump menace one iota, but is it possible that the man killed did not tell his wife about how he made a living from time to time? It would still be murder of course.

🇦🇩 Moldova elections: 🇺🇦Zelenskyy hails Maia Sandu's victory; calls out Russia's 'destabilising activity'

In this one, Kellogg confirms what Zelenskyy previously hinted in his Axios interview: the old Western weapon use restrictions are gone.

Russia has no intention of attacking EU or Nato states, foreign minister says Sergei Lavrov has been highly critical of Western countries and Israel in his speech at the UN General Assembly.

🇷🇺 PUTIN has often said he wants to restore the USSR—empire. When reacting to Joe Biden's pre-announcement of Putin's pending full-scale invasion plan—and the date—with a smirk, Putin *denied* that he intended to invade Ukraine (i.e. his Special Military Operation.

👹🤡🎭 IT is conceivable that Trump could be happy, if only briefly; however his niece Mary has written of the likely emptiness that sits in his psyche. Trump's former National Security Adviser on Trump: it's all about Trump. Me, me, me ~ bsky.app/profile/impl...

Special relationship? There can be no such thing with a snake like Trump | Aditya Chakrabortty Keir Starmer has spent the best part of a year cosying up to the US president. It will be no surprise when he gets bitten, says Guardian columnist Aditya Chakrabortty

Zelensky at the UN: “Tens of thousands now know how to kill professionally using drones. It’s harder to stop such attacks than any knife, gun, or bomb. Even basic drones can fly thousands of kilometers. Soon, drones will fight drones, strike infrastructure and people—fully autonomously.”

🇺🇦 THIS could and should have been said by Joe Biden nearly three years ago. And backed up with everything Ukraine needs to win. On the ground and in the air. Militarily.

BAD for US consumers. Not so bad for US exporters to countries which haven't (yet) levied reciprocal tariffs, but even worse for US importers on top (or underneath) the wide-ranging, deranged Trump-Tariffs.

🇺🇸 IS it not all too easy to make comparisons with Italy's Blackshirts or the Gestapo of early 1930s Germany?

🇷🇺🇷🇺 IN 2025, Trump represents the crowning achievement of years of work by Putin, the KGB then the FSB.

🇷🇺 Their inspiration may be from the last century where a Soviet leader may have said or believed that Russia would destroy [the USA and the West] from within, without a shot being fired.

President of Moldova Maia Sandu:

Russia doesn’t act alone.The Kremlin has allies in Moldova -people who have repeatedly proven in the past that for money they would sell even own country.They have no homeland.They’ve only masters. They don’t believe in Russia or in Europe.They believe only in money

People came from all over the world. They have serious problems to solve.

🇺🇸 TRUMP Tower
The demands for Trump to release the FBI's #EpsteinFiles are as bi-planes buzzing around King Kong on the Empire State building. Eventually the monster falls.

💲💲💲 BEARING in mind that about half the US population did not vote for a dictator, perhaps rendered as Government of the People, by the billionaires, for the billionaires. Slashed spending on the poorer, increases in tariffs plus a bigly increased deficit will fund tax cuts for billionaires.

🇺🇸 DOES Trump's public note to the US Attorney General represent enhanced Epstein-File-Distraction?
🇺🇸 Or is it another milestone along his road to a fully fledged dictatorship in the Land of the free and Home of the brave?
🇺🇸 Or possibly both?
